IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: WHEN USING THIS TOOL, BASIC

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE

FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL

INJURY, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

1. For personal safety and proper operation and

maintenance of the tool, read this instruction

manual carefully before using the tool.

2. Always wear safety glasses to protect your

eyes from dust or nail injury. The safety

glasses should conform with the requirements

of ANSI Z87.1.

WARNING:

It is an employer's responsibility to enforce

the use of safety eye protection equipment by

the tool operators and by other persons in the

immediate working area.

3. Wear hearing protection to protect your ears

against exhaust noise and head protection.

Also wear light but not loose clothing. Sleeves

should be buttoned or rolled up. No necktie

should be worn.

4. Rushing the job or forcing the tool is

dangerous. Handle the tool carefully. Do not

operate when under the influence of alcohol,

drugs or the like.

5. General Tool Handling Guidelines:

(1) Always assume that the tool contains

fasteners.

(2) Do not point the tool toward yourself or

anyone whether it contains fasteners or

not.

(3) Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is

placed firmly against the workpiece.

(4) Respect the tool as a working implement.

(5) No horseplay.

(6) Do not hold or carry the tool with a finger

on the trigger.

(7) Do not load the tool with fasteners when

any one of the operating controls is

activated.

(8) Do not operate the tool with any power

source other than that specified in the tool

operating/safety instructions.

6. An improperly functioning tool must not be

used.

7. Sparks sometimes fly when the tool is used.

Do not use the tool near volatile, flammable

materials such as gasoline, thinner, paint, gas,

adhesives, etc.; they will ignite and explode,

causing serious injury.

8. The area should be sufficiently illuminated to

assure safe operations. The area should be

clear and litter-free. Be especially careful to

maintain good footing and balance.

9. Only those involved in the work should be in

the vicinity. Children especially must be kept

away at all times.

10.

There may be local regulations concerning

noise which must be complied with by keeping

noise levels within prescribed limits. In certain

cases, shutters should be used to contain

noise.

11.

Do not play with the contact element: it

prevents accidental discharge, so it must be

kept on and not removed. Securing the trigger

in the ON position is also very dangerous.

Never attempt to fasten the trigger. Do not

operate a tool if any portion of the tool

operating controls is inoperable, disconnected,

altered, or not working properly.

12.

Operate the tool within the specified air

pressure on the tool label for safety and longer

tool life. Do not exceed the recommended max.

operating pressure. The tool should not be

connected to a source whose pressure

potentially exceeds 14.0 kgf/cm

2

G (200 PSIG).

3

13.

Never use the tool with other than compressed

air. If bottled gas (carbon dioxide, oxygen,

nitrogen, hydrogen, air, etc.) or combustible

gas (hydrogen, propane, acetylene, etc.) is

used as a power source for this tool, the tool

will explode and cause serious injury.

14. Always check the tool for its overall condition

and loose screws before operation. Tighten as

required.

15. Make sure all safety systems are in working

order before operation. The tool must not

operate if only the trigger is pulled or if only

the contact element is pressed against the

wood. It must work only when both actions are

performed. Test for possible faulty operation

with nails unloaded and the contact element in

fully pulled position.

16.

Check walls, ceilings, floors, roofing and the

like carefully to avoid possible electrical shock,

gas leakage, explosions, etc. caused by

striking live wires, conduits or gas pipes.

17. Use only nails specified in this manual. The

use of any other nails may cause malfunction

of the tool.

18. Do not permit those uninstructed to use the

tool.

19. Make sure no one is nearby before nailing.

Never attempt to nail from both the inside and

outside at the same time. Nails may rip

through and/or fly off, presenting a grave

danger.

20. Watch your footing and maintain your balance

with the tool. Make sure there is no one below

when working in high locations, and secure

the air hose to prevent danger if there is

sudden jerking or catching.

21. On rooftops and other high locations, nail as

you move forward. It is easy to lose your

footing if you nail while inching backward.

When nailing against perpendicular surface,

nail from the top to the bottom. You can

perform nailing operations with less fatigue by

doing so.

22. A nail will be bent or the tool can become

jammed if you mistakenly nail on top of

another nail or strike a knot in the wood. The

nail may be thrown and hit someone, or the

tool itself can react dangerously. Place the

nails with care.

23. Do not leave the loaded tool or the air

compressor under pressure for a long time out

in the sun. Be sure that dust, sand, chips and

foreign matter will not enter the tool in the

place where you leave it setting.

24. Do not point the ejection port at anyone in the

vicinity. Keep hands and feet away from the

ejection port area.

25. When the air hose is connected, do not carry

the tool with your finger on the trigger or hand

it to someone in this condition. Accidental

firing can be extremely dangerous.

26. Handle the tool carefully, as there is high

pressure inside the tool that can be dangerous

if a crack is caused by rough handling

(dropping or striking). Do not attempt to carve

or engrave on the tool.

27. Stop nailing operations immediately if you

notice something wrong or out of the ordinary

with the tool.

28. Always disconnect the air hose and remove all

of the nails:

(9) When unattended.

(10) Before performing any maintenance or

repair.

(11) Before cleaning a jam.

(12) Before moving the tool to a new location.

29. Perform cleaning and maintenance right after

finishing the job. Keep the tool in tip-top

condition. Lubricate moving parts to prevent

rusting and minimize friction-related wear.

Wipe off all dust from the parts.

30. Do not modify tool without authorization from

Makita.

31. Do not attempt to keep the trigger or contact

element depressed with tape or wire. Death or

serious injury may occur.

32. Always check contact element as instructed in

this manual. Nails may be driven accidentally

if the safety mechanism is not working

correctly.

33. Ask Makita's Authorized service centers for

periodical inspection of the tool.

34. To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,

maintenance and repairs should be performed

by Makita Authorized or Factory Service

Centers, always using Makita replacement

parts.

The air compressor must comply with the requirements

of ANSI B19.3.

Select a compressor that has ample pressure and air

output to assure cost-efficient operation. The graph

shows the relation between nailing frequency, applicable

pressure and compressor air output.

Thus, for example, if nailing takes place at a rate of

approximately 37 times per minute at a compression of

7.0 kgf/cm

2

G (100 PSIG), a compressor with an air

output over 2 ft

3

/minute is required.

Pressure regulators must be used to limit air pressure to

the rated pressure of the tool where air supply pressure

exceeds the tool's rated pressure. Failure to do so may

result in serious injury to tool operator or persons in the

vicinity.

Selecting air hose

004294

Use an air hose as large and as short as possible to

assure continuous, efficient nailing operation. With an air

pressure of 5.0 kgf/cm

2

G (70 PSIG), an air hose with an

internal diameter of over 6.5 mm (1/4") and a length of

less than 20 m (6.6 ft.) is recommended when the

interval between each nailing is 0.5 seconds. Air supply

hoses shall have a minimum working pressure rating of

10.7 kgf/cm

2

G (150 PSIG) or 150 percent of the

maximum pressure produced in the system whichever is

higher.

CAUTION:

• Low air output of the compressor, or a long or

smaller diameter air hose in relation to the nailing

frequency may cause a decrease in the driving

capability of the tool.

Lubrication

004295

To insure maximum performance, install an air set (oiler,

regulator, air filter) as close as possible to the tool.

Adjust the oiler so that one drop of oil will be provided for

every 30 nails.

When an air set is not used, oil the tool with pneumatic

tool oil by placing 2 (two) or 3 (three) drops into the air

fitting. This should be done before and after use. For

proper lubrication, the tool must be fired a couple of

times after pneumatic tool oil is introduced.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

• Always disconnect the air hose before adjusting or

checking function on the tool.

Adjusting depth of nailing

1

A

B

008390

To adjust the depth of nailing, turn the adjuster. The

depth of nailing is the deepest when the adjuster is

turned fully in the A direction shown in the figure. It will

become shallower as the adjuster is turned in the B

direction. If nails cannot be driven deep enough even

when the adjuster is turned fully in the A direction,

increase the air pressure. If nails are driven too deep

even when the adjuster is turned fully in the B direction,

decrease the air pressure. Generally speaking, the tool

service life will be longer when the tool is used with

lower air pressure and the adjuster set to a lower depth

of nail driving.

CAUTION:

• Always disconnect the hose before adjusting the

depth of nailing.

Hook

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always disconnect the air hose from the tool before

attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.

Cleaning and removal of tat and dirt

Adhesion of tar and dirt to areas around the contact

element will prevent smooth movement of the contact

element (safety mechanism), causing accidental

discharge. Periodically clean the areas around the

contact element.

Use a solvent such as kerosene, #2 fuel oil or diesel fuel.

Immerse only the contact element and the areas around

the ejection port in solvent and remove tar and dirt with

brush. Always wear waterproof gloves to protect your

hands. Never immerse the housing, magazine, etc. in

solvent. Malfunction of the tool may result. Always

dispose of the solvent used in a safe and prudent

manner and in compliance with all local and national

code requirement.

Dry off the tool before use. Any oil film left after cleanup

will accelerate the tar buildup, and the tool will require

more frequent recleaning. After drying off the tool, oil the

moving parts to prevent rusting and to assure good

lubrication and operation or moving parts.

WARNING:

• Never use gasoline or other similar highly volatile

liquids for cleaning. Vapors of such liquids may

enter the tool and could be ignited by sparks

produced during nailing and cause an explosion.

Maintenance of nailer

Always check the tool for its overall condition and loose

screws before operation. Tighten as required.

008402

With tool disconnected, make daily inspection to assure

free movement of the contact element and trigger. Do

not use tool if the contact element or trigger sticks or

binds.

008409

When the tool is not to be used for an extended period of

time, lubricate the tool using pneumatic tool oil and store

the tool in a safe place. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight

and/or humid or hot environment.
